Oatmeal Zucchini Bread
If your garden is heaping with zucchini right now, you have got to make this oatmeal zucchini bread recipe. Oats are my favorite grain to bake with. They sometimes get a bad rap because they are dense, but the health benefits and moistness they provide far surpasses being dense.
Vegan Recipe
This recipe is plant-based, vegan, dairy-free, egg-free, gluten-free, etc. Now of course, if you want to use eggs or dairy milk, you most certainly can. Instead of adding flaxseed meal, just add 2-3 eggs to the recipe. Flaxseed meal is packed full on nutrients and healthy fats, so I highly suggest adding flaxseed meal in.
Oats are naturally gluten free. However, most often oats are grown near wheat patches, so if you have celiacs, use gluten-free certified oats.
My Favorite Loaf Pans
This recipe makes 2 standard loaves of bread, however, I LOVE using my extra-long loaf pans to make 1 really big loaf! They make the most beautiful loaves of bread. Here I doubled the recipe below to make 2 extra-long loaves.
Other Oat Flour Recipes:
- Plain Oatmeal Bread
- Chocolate Oatmeal Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting
- Pancake Oatmeal Mix
- Apple Oatmeal Cinnamon Muffins
- Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffins
- Breakfast Oatmeal Bars
You could easily be make into muffins. I believe this recipe would easily make 24 muffins. Just cut down the baking time to 20-25 minutes.
